I've put over 80k on mine since I started driving it in Dec '97.

I think since i bought it i've put on about 15k, it's my commuter vehicle, costs me a fortune in gas but i love it.

About two and a half years ago, when we put the TH400 into my truck, it had 104,000 miles...now it's got 122,000 and counting, with most of those coming within the last year.

I'm going to rack up a ton this school year, thanks to going to school in Tucson and now having a girlfriend in Phoenix.

(random side note: she loves the truck! keeping her. =)

I usually proably put 8-10k on mine a year, i only really drive it to work and school, and lots of crusing

. I haven't drove in more than 100 miles since May 15th, schools out so i don't drive there, and i have a "company car" for my job that goes home with me. I am constantly looking for excuses to drive my truck...when you are in a Ford Tempo for 11hrs a day you would too!

When I bought my truck in Mar 1999 it had 103,030 miles on it. Just turned 137,300. That's averaging about 15,000 miles a year.
